This songs lyrics seem to describe a relationship in which someone is suffering with Borderline Personality Disorder, stuck in their own trauma guarded by their demons that lash out in violence against their significant other. The S/O is struggling to help them through their trauma, and regretfully succumbs to the the violence, lashing out in violence themselves in response. A lot of borderline relationships can devolve into this. "Tempt me again and I will forget the truth" This kinds of speaks to the borderline tendency to interrogate their partner if they think they're lying about something, or if something sets them off. They tend to not accept any excuse unless its the one they assumed/feared, which is usually the worst case scenario. This is the cause for a lot of fights. "Backing your decision is something I neglected to do" I assume this is the S/O realizing this game, and doesn't succumb to it. Of course, it's a lose/lose situation, either way the borderline person will get angry, but they know that it's better to not play into this trauma. "If you feel rage to strike me with revenge I will be standing right here Waiting without fear For you" The S/O isn't afraid of their borderline lover's demons anymore. They found out that responding with anger and violence isn't working. When someone with BPD is having an episode, you need to show them love, and not be afraid of their trauma's demons. In a lot of failed borderline relationships, the S/O succumbs to the anger and lashes back out, or is fearful. This makes the demons say "See? We were right, you're a horrible person and everyone hates you" and reinforces the borderline person's trauma. |
